Figure 4From: The hyperbolic effect of density and strength of inter beta-cell coupling on islet bursting: a theoretical investigation3D HCP and SCP cell clusters projected on a 2-dimensional x-y plane. (a) A HCP-323 cluster with edge size 5. Each cell is connected with nc = 12 neighbors, 6 from the same layer and 6 from the layers above and below. (b) A conventional SCP 7 × 7 × 7 cluster with nc = 6 for each cell.Back to article page
